Easy hike to the sights of the Dippoldiswalder Heide. A detailed description of the hike with lots of additional information can be found in the hiking and nature guide Dresden and the surrounding area, Volume 1 from Berg- & Naturverlag Rölke. In the 2020 edition it is hike no. 8 "Through the Dippoldiswalder Heide to stone witnesses to the past".
